Pathfinder General /pfg/

Improved Rapid Shot is a feat that does not exist in Pathfinder, right?

What are some of the must-have ranged feats for a character designed to be dead killy with his bow?

Any easy way to get Intelligence to hit with ranged attacks that's a bit more permanent than Magus Arcane Accuracy? 3pp included

Folks who have read Psychic Anthology, am I crazy for wanting to do this Occultist Build?

Half-Elf, FCB Elf (+1 Mental Focus/2 Levels)
Occultist (Haunt Collector)
Implements
Level 1: Transmutation, Abjuration Implements
Level 2: Trappings of the Warrior Panoply (to cheat into full BaB and getting mini-Martial Flexibility)
Level 6: Haunted Conjuration Implement (Replacing the useless Resonant power with the champion's Séance Boon)

This would net me full BaB, an additional scaling damage and attack bonus, the ability to expend three mental focus in order to pick up a combat feat, and the best part is that I can still use a Greatsword, as I can just carry the shield- I don't have to actually have it equipped/wielded. And for some /godforsaken reason/ the Occultist gets Enlarge Person and Lead Blades. Also, as a Half-Elf, should I take Ancestral Arms to get a falcata and 2-hand it?

>>51774631
Off the top of my head...

Rapid Shot
Manyshot
Precise Shot
Point-Blank Shot
Deadly Aim
Clustered Shots (but only if you can't penetrate DR effectively)

There might be another one I'm forgetting but that's the foundation of your average ranged build.

>>51774552
>DSP mostly hates us
They hate the /pol/ shit. They don't want their company to be associated with a general where it's become commonplace to appear once every second or third thread, and then derail it. The lewd shit is eye roll worthy and has become grating for some, but the former was certainly the last straw for many of them I'd expect.

If we allow this to become our norm for much longer, Jolly's bound to pick up his things. We're excluding ourselves away from the people who have made Pathfinder their passion to help build upon and throw in their own ideas.

>>51774552
Tanuki are literally the meme happy merchant.

>>51774680
Does anyone NOT hate /pol/ shit besides /pol/ themselves?

>>51774552
...DSP wrote elf-orc hybrids.

>The deep-seated enmity between orcs and elves can, on rare occasions, bely a strange sexual tension

>>51774680
I'm sure the people who are doing it know they are, and this only empowers them more.

So what do you think are appropriate back stories for level 8 gestalt characters in Taldor Ascendant.

Some easy ones I am seeing are:
>top agent of Lion Blades
>founder of a shadow school
>aid to the prince's inner circle (likely a court magi)
>member of Taldan noble clan
>ranking member or enforcer for the taldan merchant's guild
>ranking member of the army of exploration

Posting again in the hopes of getting some feedback. Bit of homebrew for a PoW Prestige Class called the Lance Revenant. Comments are enabled on the doc.

Things that need to be changed: change most references of "lance" to "polearm or spear", that was just working text.

Then ignore them if we all hate it so much. Report that shit because it doesn't belong here to begin with. Sitting back and letting them pop in to post again just lets another careless anon take the bait.

Never played before. How do I get the party to defend/save my character in case they're down/dying? Beyond being useful.

>>51774631
Honestly m8, bows don't need to be killier.

>>51774668
The Augur of Battle... feat I think from the Spheres Divination book? Lets you use Int to hit if you're last in initiative.

It's kinda funny if you somehow end up with two people using it and fighting each other, since they'd both just keep delaying, wanting the other to take their turn first so they can get their int to hit.

>>51774773
I do, the mods don't take it.

>>51774774
You asking for RP reasons why they WOULD, or asking for combat / skill reasons why they SHOULD?

>>51774675
>am I crazy for wanting to do this Occultist Build?
Not really, Occultist is pretty cool. Note that you only get the BAB when wielding the weapon, making it a temporary bonus that won't let you qualify for feats that require +16 or more BAB.

It's unfortunate almost every Occultist archetype replaces Outside Contact, can't mix in Battle Host or Panoply Savant.

>>51774799
A bit of column A, a bit of column B.

>>51774732

>They hate the /pol/ shit. They don't want their company to be associated with a general where it's become commonplace to appear once every second or third thread, and then derail it.
While I hate the /pol/ shit that crops up here, it's certainly not the reason the remaining DSP devs don't post here anymore. They all (with the exception of Forrest who left DSP) left because they were a bunch of primadonnas who couldn't go more than a month before exploding at a poster here for daring not to kiss the ground they walked on. Any criticism of their products was routinely met with aggressive demands for further explanation and then flippant insistance that "I have dozens of spreadsheets on my computer that prove you wrong. No I won't show them to you!"

And DSP or not, it's still clear she comes to talk about her stuff here much less often than before.

>>51774680
Yeah, spewing /pol/itical opinions is a part of the problem. Generally low standard of discussion is another one. It's very easy to derail everything to blinkling shitposting or fawning over THICC barbarellas or what have you.

>>51774886
I once knew someone who claimed she had "So much proof I can't show you just one".

Like, what the fuck, cunt?

>>51774827
>would
RP-wise, a pretty good way to guarentee it is to get your character, as that character to be somehow essential to the party. Maybe he's specifically the guy who's friendly with the Duke who's your contact, or maybe he's so important to the group dynamic that it can be construed as "it just doesn't feel right" without him, or make sure you have at least one really strong friend among the group. If you don't mind or if the group is okay with it you can also just make the resident female character your girlfriend.

>should
Either be a character who's tailored to the rest of the party to plug the gaps, or be a character who is just generally crucial. Wizards and their spinoffs, specifically, are pretty useful for this role because of their out-of-combat usefulness that really isn't supplanted by anyone.

I require opinions on race lore. I do not have many races in my setting, but I will go over a few here for thoughts:

>Goblinoids
The separate goblinoid creatures are not in fact different species, instead they form a greater single species. In this case goblins are infertile males, hobgoblins fertile males, and bugbears females. Their clans end up strictly matriarchal with a bugbear at its head. When giving birth to a litter generally one child will grow to a hobgoblin, if two do so both hobgoblins will likely be runts among their kind. Hobgoblins practice rampant homosexuality due to their pathological need to mate where as bugbears only become fertile at certain times of the year, this varies from bugbear to bugbear and depends on when they were born. Bugbears can actually choose when to give birth to a new female, and will often send one with several hobgoblins and goblins to be established as a sister clan. This creates vast networks of allied clans stemming from single Bugbears. Bugbears, opposed to goblins and hobgoblins are far longer lived, some reaching as old as two hundred. Goblins, the infertile males, are generally subservient to their larger fertile brothers, but only to a point. However both hobgoblins and goblins will religiously follow the orders of their Bugbear mother or current clan head, this is due to pheromones the bugbear produces. She will often cut portions of her hair off and give it to her servants, these hair soaked in pheromone oil she excretes, and will keep them subservient while away. Goblinoids away from a bugbear for a long periods of time, without such baubles, will grow to realize their subservience.

This so fuckin' hard. The fact is that so many of their devs who were tasked with being the face of the company to us were a huge liability to the company so they pulled all interaction with us. That's how we went from people being dogpiled for turning their noses up to Pow to pretty much everybody hoping SoM can completely supersede it.

I imagine that's mostly just her running out her contractual obligations. She probably wrote her contributions for that months ago. It's pretty obvious her current focus is the Avowed and other Forrestfire stuff.

>>51774993
>Dwarves
Dwarven kind's "lust for gold" is quite literal. Dwarves have no sexes and are a single monolithic species. They are not born, and instead are built. An individual or a community will carve a new dwarf out of metal, stone, or gem and set them life using often poorly understood old rituals. One's material will often decide one's caste throughout life. Dwarven rich will carve their children of gold and gems, this creates a luxury for the rich of having a child as they can afford to pay for the materials of a child alone. Clans and communities otherwise will often come together to pool resources when creating a new dwarf. This is why clans exist, groups who come together to finance new dwarves as well as 'children of the community' where the new dwarf's 'parents' is every member of a town who pitched in. The poorest of dwarves can be made of materials like brick, slate, or even concrete. These urban poor dwarves are seen as disgusting creatures by their brethren often, and such dwarves are most common among populations living outside of dwarven territory. Rich dwarves seldom travel due to the inherent wealth of their bodies. Even if they carry no riches a golden dwarf represents half a ton of gold to the would be highway man. Using a dwarf's body after death is sacrilege, and dead dwarves are enshrined in their base parts. Old dwarven clans will have bars and vaults full of gems harvested from their ancestors. Dwarves however have no natural maximum lifespan and dwarven death only comes in the form of dwarves who died in violence, accidents, or of diseases that effect their kind.

>Dwarves have no sexes and are a single monolithic species. They are not born, and instead are built.
Oh now this is interesting.

Not even a question of maintaining a culture, it's a purely pragmatic "If we chase the devs away we don't have as much influence over playtests and go back to being a general of zero worth"

Though I guess that's what some people want, too.

>>51775217
I actually agree. DSP devs often acted like ass hats so what should they expect in return? They shouldn't get special treatment. Often they acted like they wanted to be able to explode at people and get no consequences. It was silly.

>>51775283
>>51775282
Do you want potential resources to use in your games to have been influenced by you, written by people who actually can kind of figure out what you want? Or do you just want to sit around, complain about nobody listening to you and having no influence on the hobby, and continue to stew in the belief that you're somehow MORE important BECAUSE nobody listens?

For that matter, do you even have games? Or do you just lay on the floor and not do anything of worth?

Why would anyone want to maintain a culture of hostility and fuckwittery anyway?

>>51775258

Realistically, devs prefer to get comments through their posted docs or dedicated threads elsewhere. That way they get every single comment without having to worry about missing comments because they were in a thread that degenerated into perv and got culled.

>>51775263
And what's wrong with that?

There's no culture of hostility. /pol/ posters need to go because they're retarded, obnoxious, and shove their shit in where it doesn't belong like random Trump shilling and "libtards" and hurr DA JOOS, on the wrong board no less, but I'm not even sure what the fuck you're referring to otherwise.

>>51775334

>>51775340
It's not about acting like /tg/ is their own, it's about fuckwits acting like they're on /pol/ on other boards. Getting triggered by "offensive" images is not the correct response, if you actually get pissy at that shit then I'm sorry anon but that isn't /pol/.

>>51775340
The thing is I am not /pol/. However if the fact that there is a /pol/ cross boarder in /pfg/ every few threads drove them away then they can stay gone.

>>51775300
>I don't recall them actually gunning for 'special treatment'. I recall at least a couple times that apologies were actually made. And really, it's better to keep going with the dang threads rather than get hung up on drama from last week that happened because someone got a bit upset.
They were hung up on it and obviously still are because they don't touch here any more. Really what I have to say is if their sensibilities are so delicate that occasionally shit posting ran them off then I don't want them.

>>51775404
The /pol/ crossboarders need to go too though.

>>51775358
Maybe because of that, I've noticed devs give quicker and more direct feedback here than if you post on a forum, where they can let it sit for a while, or work on it without saying what they're doing.

They have as much right to discuss traditional games as any one else. I report off topic shit, but if they want to talk about nazi theme'd ttrpgs then I have no right to stop them doing so.

>>51775401
Lol, so someone bringing up their political views is bad but you redirecting to your own views isnt?

>>51775422
>>51775404
Consider the following: Devs stopped showing up because any advice or feedback given devolved into insulting the person rather than their writing. Telling someone "these mechanics are shit, here's why" actually has value, whereas telling them "you're shit, fuck off" gets them to, guess what, fuck off. And yet idiots then claim that they were "only acting properly" and that the devs are primadonnas for daring to leave when they ask for feedback and receive shitposting.

>>51775441
Just like pokefags, bronies, and everyone else with containment boards, they're free to be in /tg/ as long as they leave their bullshit at the door.

The thing is there are clearly some devs who can't take the heat and don't turn into little babies when someone posts something they don't like. Also ones who don't blow up at posters.

DepressedHomebrewer, for all his autism, is probably the most well behaved tripdev we have.

>Maybe because of that, I've noticed devs give quicker and more direct feedback here than if you post on a forum, where they can let it sit for a while, or work on it without saying what they're doing.

If they catch your comment here, then yes, they'll respond here, but odds are they won't see it. And being able to think about it is a plus, because sometimes people post really insightful things, or post things that give a dev whole bunch of new ideas.

>WAA WAA! bad things are being said about the Jews

Get over yourself. This is not your hugbox, if they're technically on topic and it doesn't break any rules then you have no right to stop them no matter how offensive they're being. If they're off topic then report their dumb asses.

>>51775441

Yes, they do. They need to stop acting like crossboarders and shouldn't be literally talking /pol/, but as you say, if they're on-topic then they're on topic and that's that.

>>51775454
>that the devs are primadonnas
Yes, because you're on an anonymous forum with essentially no moderation. I have no sympathy for them and they are being big babies. If you put on a trip and identify yourself then you should hold yourself to a form of standard while having it on.

I don't care about people not coming here for playtests because I can find and comment on google docs well enough without /pfg/. Also it's asinine to expect an entire website to change to cater to folks with delicate sensibilities.

Draphs are great desu.

Also can we fucking stop, the OP was fucking bait from the get go and we all fell for it hook, line, and sinker. Everyone in this general knows anime OP poster tries to stir up shit, and yet we still reply.

I think the topic has gotten away with us. Off topic posting needs to go, I don't think anyone here disagrees with that. However being offended by occasional off topic posting to the point of leaving makes you a big baby.

Same with insults based on your homebrew. Saying "it's shit, you're shit" in response to homebrew and play tests being enough to run someone off makes them a big baby who doesn't understand where they are.

So in conclusion:

>the OP was fucking bait from the get go and we all fell for it hook, line, and sinker
I am the OP and it actually was not. The only thing I meant was "DSP folks are no longer with us but you should still say what you think about this playtest". Maybe with a little jab at how this place is generally shit enough to scare people away. I did not anticipite how much pent-up hate, frustration and "I NEVER LIKED THEM ANYWAY" there was. Well, a lesson for the future.

I talked before about the conceptual design of a new class, the Bound. After doing so I looked into the Avowed as a lot of people say it had similar flavor. I have seen that this is true, that they seem to be sort of two branches of the same original concept. In Forrest's idea it is forging a connection between the PC and an external force, in mine it is the PC having an external force trapped inside them.

After thinking on it I have refined portions of the design, and would like to talk about them at least a bit. First I will talk about the three core concepts of the class:
>Bound entity
The bound entity is what you have had put inside you. This was a main topic of discussion last time to refine the possible list, and I got a number of fantastic suggestion that got the sparks going. Bound entity effect what sort of powers one can receive, both Stable and Unstable releases.
>Binding Location
The binding location is where the entity was put inside of you. This modifies what sort of powers one can receive. Binding location, unlike entity, only effects one's Stable releases. I have played with the idea that certain entities only have certain compatible bound locations.
>Origin
The origin, unlike the other two, does not effect what powers you get. Instead it gives you minor Ex utility abilities and class skills, basically to let you have some abilities pertaining to how you received your entity.

>>51776406
Now let's talk about some things I mentioned in these three concepts:
>Stable Release
Stable releases follow the same vein as rogue talents, rage powers, and alchemist discoveries. The class has a long list of them for the character to choose from every other level. However which ones you qualify for is determined by your bound entity and binding location. Let us say for instance your binding location is your eye, and your bound entity is a fiend. Eye qualifies you for stable releases such as Dark Vision, Aura Sight, True Seeings, etc. Fiend qualifies you for such abilities as fire resistance, tongues, bonuses to diplomacy, etc. Most stable releases have multiple prerequisites that can qualify you for it. An example would be the aforementioned Tongues. One can qualify for Tongues with both a Fiend entity or the Stomach binding location. This means if you chose both then there would be overlap between the two, and indeed you will likely have some overlap somewhere between your qualifications. I have worked out conceptually that if you double qualify it will likely lower the level requirement of the stable release, giving incentive to some overlap. Such abilities would be in theme for such a bound.

>It's 6 now

Fuck, guess I'm going to be late.
FotJR, don't wait up. I'll have to just hope I don't miss much.

>>51776431
>Unstable release
Unstable releases is something I am currently struggling with design-wise. I am torn between two ideas. Either something akin to how Sorcerer bloodlines work, meaning that at preprescribed levels you receive a feature from your bound entity. Currently this is the less likely of the two. The other idea is more like that of an Oracle Mystery. You have a short list to choose from at prescribed levels. This much choice, along with stable releases makes the class highly modular. Unstable releases would be powerful, but invoke another portion of the class. Right now I am working on a system similar to ego. Using unstable releases will force the character to try and restrain their entity. In the worst case scenarios failing would mean the entity taking over for some amount of time, or even permanently.

Now for the current working lists of each:
>Bound entity
Parasite, Spirit, Plague, Fiend, Spell, Twin, Breach, Curse
>Bound Location
Eye, Heart, Arm, Legs, Stomach, Mind
>Origins
At birth, punishment, inherited, accident, chosen, tricked

I may combine Curse and Spell into one, but at the moment they are different. As well separating out different fiends into Daemon, Demon, and Devil may become important as they are so different thematically.

>>51776460
>>51776431
A problem I am seeing is that between Stable and Unstable releases likely the character will have 15 some odd talents to choose. That is quite a bit. However, if taken at each level it isn't as difficult.

I am thinking of how much is too much choice, and towards that I look towards Vigilante, which has even more modularity. So I am unsure.

>>51776374
>>51776354
I knew I probably shouldn't have responded, I just hate people who say that Voltaire said that.

>>51776529

>>51776558
don't goblins abhor writing of any kind?

>>51776460
I have also played with the idea of a bound entity being a fledgling god. Essentially an infant deity, however unlike the others that seems to have a very powerful end goal the others might not, namely the infant god growing into their power.

I am considered this being a mythic only options, combining it in some manner to my Unchained Mythic rules.

>>51776460
>In the worst case scenarios failing would mean the entity taking over for some amount of time, or even permanently.
Please don't do that. Class features that add a weakness to your character, like Oracle curses, can be fun, but helplessness or character death for failing a roll is just an excuse for asshole DMs and makes avoiding getting into that situation in the first place of key importance, which restricts your options in play.

How does it feel to know that anyone can take Adopted to become a bakeneko?

>Bakeneko (Race, Catfolk): You gain the beastblood subtype. In addition, you gain the ability to shapeshift between two forms—your natural form becomes a single specific feline of any size between your natural size and Tiny; while in this form you gain the benefits of the beast shape I spell (except that you do not gain any of the ability score increases normally associated with the spell, and you may also choose to have their natural form be a Tiny feline), though they must take the same form each time. If you possesses any extraordinary claw or bite natural weapons, then you maintain up to 2 claw attacks and 1 bite attack while in this form, though they deal damage as appropriate for their new size. Antimagic fields and effects that return you to their natural form revert them to their cat form, and effects that pierce through magical disguises (such as true seeing) reveal your true form. In addition, as a standard action, you may assume the appearance of a specific single human form of the same sex. In this form, you lose all benefits of the beast shape I effect granted by your natural form. Because of telltale catlike features (such as a poorly concealed tail or sharp fangs), you only gain a +5 bonus on Disguise checks to appear fully human when in your human form. However, you gain a +20 bonus on Disguise checks to appear as a normal cat when in your natural form, and you do not take the normal penalty for disguising as a smaller creature when doing so. You can speak and cast spells in your cat form, and have access to any material and focus components that are melded to your form when you transform back into a cat (though expending them will cause them to be used when you transform into a human again). Transforming into a human otherwise functions as alter self, except your ability scores do not change.

You could even play a yōkai kitsune bakeneko with both cat ears and fox ears.

>>51776592
Usually, yeah, but I don't see why a really smart goblin couldn't be interested in it.

>>51776822

>>51776705
I have gone back and forth on permanent loss of character. Likely if I am to do anything it will be temporary and rather similar to losing an ego roll to an intelligent item.

It makes using powerful class features, the Unstable Releases risky, but at a set will save you can reach a point where you can reliably use them without having to worry.

> which restricts your options in play.
In a way this is the point. Having to decide to risk losing an ego contest for temporary power. It is the reason I separated Unstable and Stable releases so that a character has some of each at any given time and can function without needing to use their Unstable.

As well I am thought of being able to put off giving over control until after combat, or until after a certain number of minutes, but am unsure as of yet.

>but helplessness or character death for failing a roll is just an excuse for asshole DMs
This is something I am concerned about as well, and is why I am designing it so the situation of when and where the rolls for contesting ego are made is entirely in control of the player. They can not be forced into the situation by the GM and they enter into the ego roll of their own accord knowing the inherent risks. Basically, to a degree, bad GM proofing it.

>>51776822
Pretty sure it's intentional, given their comments on Adopted for other traits.

Another potentially amusing use for Bakeneko is to place it upon a blinkling, thereby creating a dogperson who also has feline features and can transform into a cat.

Being able to transform into a cat probably has more utility than being able to shapeshift into a fox, given that a cat is an odd sight in neither the city nor the wilderness.

Well, consider the fact that Corruptions are almost universally-reviled not for being kind of meh in power (which is alright), but for the fact that three failed saves means you lose your character. Or the fact that Ego and the like merely demand you act in a way, rather than "fuck you you're an NPC under the sword's control now". Consider taking inspiration from Ego then, as it's probably the best way to do it.

>Defeating Alexeara Cansellarion is the focus of this adventure and the entire Hell’s Vengeance campaign, so the paladin is unlikely to have any further role. However, particularly diabolical PCs might seek her damnation, rather than death. If your PCs want to engineer her fall from grace, you can use the following guidelines.

>First, the PCs must succeed at a DC 50 Diplomacy check to convince Alexeara to listen to what they have to say. Next, after lengthy conversations with Alexeara over a period of at least 24 hours, the PCs must succeed at a DC45 Sense Motive check to accurately gauge her doubts. The use of mind-reading magic such as detect thoughts grants a +4 circumstance bonus on this check. If Alexeara is in the presence of a good creature at any time during this period, her faltering devotion is renewed and the Sense Motive check automatically fails. If the Sense Motive check fails, the PCs must begin again with a new Diplomacy check to convince Alexeara to continue interacting with them, but the DC of the check increases by 5.

>Finally, the PCs must succeed at a DC 45 Bluff check to convince Alexeara that the lifelong whispers she has heard did not originate from Iomedae, but from a fiendish patron instead. The PCs must convince Alexeara that her entire life has been a lie thus far and that her “true” destiny can only be achieved through service to evil. On a successful check, Alexeara willingly embraces this new “truth.” Her alignment immediately changes to lawful evil, she trades all of her paladin levels for levels in the antipaladin class (Pathfinder RPG Advanced Player’s Guide 118) on a 1-for-1 basis, and she replaces her divine defender archetype with the tyrant archetype (Pathfinder RPG Ultimate Intrigue 64).

Today, I learned that a min-maxed Diplomancer (maybe an Intelligence Diplomancer with Student of Philosophy?) can make a level 18 paladin turn into a tyrant antipaladin in a 24 hour span.

The plan right now is failing the save while using a single unstable forces your character to act in a certain way, compelled by your entity. Failing while using two or three gets worse. Essentially using multiple unstable releases at once puts the DC higher and raises the consequences.

I'm in need of maps, battle maps but for... Ancient Rome. I need some cityscape, but can't find shit. Anybody can help here?

I talked about this before, but time to do so again. I am currently playing evil characters spanning the entire evil spectrum.

The characters were the following:
>LE
Last son of an ancient noble family in its twilight who has gone to the capital in order to establish allies at court. Desperately desires to raise up his people from abject poverty and puzzle out the strange origins of his noble house. Also disentangle his family line from a curse coming from two directions that have eaten away at it for centuries. He is willing to do anything to accomplish these goals.
>NE
Boisterous mercenary captain fond of drinks, women, and warfare. Sought taking himself and his men to the farthest horizon, has slowly been working his way east for the past 15 years. He was known for his love of duels in particular and his hatred of authorities figures, particularly blue bloods. If given the chance he would challenge a blue blood to a duel, and aggravate them enough to call for it to be to the death.
>CE
A nationalist terrorist who fled his homeland after realizing the government was controlled by a sect of dopplegangers. Currently abroad seeking military support to retake his home, and gathering investors for his terrorist cells back home. Known as The Songbird after he threw away his previous identity.

Despite all three of these characters having committed terrible sins in front of the party and parts of the party being good they have not yet seen fit to try and either remove my character or kill him. The closest was with the LE character when a LG one threatened to put him in irons after he found out the character was funding a gang war. However since like time I have posted we have moved past this and the LG character has decided to no longer do that and that some things in this situation are too important for my character to be put into prison and that my character is a pitiable soul.

I can not tell. Am I playing evil wrong? Right? Somewhere in between?

Is this really Lawful Evil just because he's willing "to do anything"? It sounds more like True Neutral, honestly, since if he's "willing to do anything" he certainly can't be lawful and the desire to figure out what's going on in his family and raise a curse can't really be construed as Evil.

>Boisterous mercenary captain fond of drinks, women, and warfare...
Isn't this guy just Chaotic Neutral? He's not especially devious, he just hates the law and officials and the ruling class and is a hedonist.

>The Songbird
This guy sounds more Neutral Evil to me, depending on how he's trying to recruit for people - it sounds like he's perfectly willing to be work with the law if it actually helps him. Depending on how you present yourself to the party they shouldn't stop you. In fact if you can present your terrorist cell as less terrorists and more guerillas, they might even support you even being Good.

Evil is a lot of a the means rather than the end. Willing to do anything was the wrong way to put it. He works within the law and twists the law to be what he needs, generally attempting to be manipulative rather than confrontational He cares about the nation and the kingdom, if not many other noble families. The laws being there for a reason and he working within those laws to tell other nobles to go fuck themselves. That and things such as funding gang wars, assassinations, and other such events to push his goals forward.

>Isn't this guy just Chaotic Neutral? He's not especially devious, he just hates the law and officials and the ruling class and is a hedonist.
Hedonism is in and of itself evil, but I realized just now it is CE and not NE. He is namely neutral evil because outside of his company he has no qualms with fucking people over. Beyond a very narrow number of people he'd shank a man in an alley for a few silver. He is inherently a entirely unrepentant selfish human being.

>This guy sounds more Neutral Evil to me, depending on how he's trying to recruit for people - it sounds like he's perfectly willing to be work with the law if it actually helps him.
In this case you are right, it's about the means of how he goes about business. Besides a core of radical political activists like himself most of his men are recruited via black mail, propaganda, and other coercion. Originally he tried to instead use a brief lived populist political movement, with him at the center as its demagogue, but it was crushed by the overarching authority while still a fledgling. In this case it is a taste for wanton destruction and rampant hatred that mark him as CE.

Yeah but in the case of lawful, specifically, this is just more or less the mans to an end. I'd put this guy as Lawful Neutral if he never breaks it. Just because he's willing to fuck with the law and fuck the other nobles over doesn't mean he's evil, his means be damned, because according to you "he cares about the nation and the kingdom" and "desperately desires to raise up his people from abject poverty". He doesn't seem very evil to me. He isn't benevolent, but he's also not evil. He's looking out for himself and his lands and the kingdom but if he needs to he'll throw a punch. Sounds Neutral.

>Hedonism is in and of itself evil.
It actually isn't, if you're rich as shit and spend all your money on girls and booze that's not evil, that's just enjoying your wealth like there's no tomorrow.

>Beyond a very narrow number of people he'd shank a man in an alley for a few silver. He is inherently a entirely unrepentant selfish human being.
Oh well that seals it, he's flat a CE.

>In this case it is a taste for wanton destruction and rampant hatred that mark him as CE.
This too then, if he's actually like that. I'd say still put him as NE, because it sounds like he's NE leaning CE more than just pure CE - if he's a nationalist then he CAN'T be Chaotic, because he wants a new governmetal organization breaking off aka a new order entirely.

Still it sounds like you're not playing the last two correctly, that or your party is just being a bunch of pussies.

>his means be damned
I disagree with this. An example would be killing of a noble woman's fiancee because he needed to marry into the family and she was the only daughter. He payed for and hired an assassin to do the job while under a false identity, had the man killed, and then began courting the woman. He funded criminal organization in an enemy's city to cause strife for him and turn his attention from court long enough to gain and upper hand. He hired some thugs to beat a nobleman's guards unconscious to put fear into the man. These are evil things.

>It actually isn't, if you're rich as shit and spend all your money on girls and booze that's not evil, that's just enjoying your wealth like there's no tomorrow.
Under the different alignments in pathfinder hedonism is listed under chaotic evil.

>Still it sounds like you're not playing the last two correctly, that or your party is just being a bunch of pussies.
For the last two I think the party has had no problem with it because both of them are friendly and personable towards the party. The mercenary has never caused trouble for the party except once when he killed a blue blood during a duel and they had to flee the city. For nationalist is actively the only person in the party with any real goals so the party kind of follows him around.

>>51778221

>>51778254

Nope, Overcharge turns it into all day for any damage a Modulation does, not your Aether Pulse itself.

Besides, the thing you want out of a Spell-Like ability is not a numeric boost, it's a flat bonus. You don't want Empower, you want Maximize.

Can you take Maximize Spell-Like Ability for an Avowed? Does that even exist?

if maximize SLA exists then yes you can take it.

But don't discount empower; empowers DO work on the static bonuses if you have any. And the modulation is just the one you get to toggle between secondary-effect and damage. This is important in case you choose a damage-type changer (the damage type change WILL remain), but that modulation WILL cause you to deal increased damage; and there's ALWAYS a modulation loaded on pulse usage.

>These are evil things.
Correct but they are in the end a means to an end, and that end is entirely neutral. Just because he's ruthless about doing court intrigue (actually this is pretty par for the course in court intrigues), doesn't mean that he's Evil, because his goal is Neutral. Evil is about malevolence more than just "evil-sounding" actions.

>Under the different alignments in pathfinder hedonism is listed under chaotic evil.
And that's stupid unless you mean to argue that blowing money on hookers and michelin food and sunbathing in the pool all day long and shitposting online all night liong is CE. Hedonism by itself is literally TN leaning CN since all it means is "I'm going to enjoy myself now and give zero shits about anything else".

>For the last two I think the party has had no problem with it because both of them are friendly and personable towards the party.
Yeah but they're, Good, right? If they're Good then they should probably be trying to stop you or give a stern talking to you whenever you pull shit in front of them, being completely fine with a guy who shanks prostitutes after he's done because he can't be assed to pay up isn't really the pinnacle of Good.
POSSIBLY not for the last one, if they side with you because they want to help your cause because they think it's a good and justified one.

Tell me /pfg/.
There is any books dedicated only to dungeon traps and puzzles that you may recommend? I am aware Retaizo never publish one but I hope some 3pp did.

So, /pfg/, what do you think is the outright most powerful and the most satisfying to play/build classes of each of these categories:

No spellcasting, no PoW
4th level caster or full Initiator
6th level Arcane caster
6th level Divine/Psychic caster
9th level Spontaneous caster
9th level Prepared caster

Note, the most powerful and the most satisfying don't have to be the same thing, so if you have different answers for each, go ahead.

3pp is allowed, of course. I'm trying to set up some pregens/legal classes for a big Company of Adventure game and wanr everyone to have good options. We start at 3 and plan on having a cap at 12, which is right where the game breaks down.

Any help would be appreciated.

Here's another thing I saw on adventure design:

1) Two Skill Encounters
2) Four Pure Combats
3) Two Magical Challenges
4) One Divine Challenge
5) One Puzzle or Trap
6) Two Roleplaying Encounters
7) One Mook Encounter
8) One Polder (basically a mid/late dungeon save spot)
9) One Bigger Fish
10) Big Finish

I have to ask: is Spheres of Might being written with the Combat Stamina subsystem in mind? Although it is technically a variant rule, it is also a first-party variant rule that could very well be employed by gaming groups wishing to improve martial classes anyway.

Spheres of Might currently has two full BAB, Constitution-secondary classes, the blacksmith (why does Ssalarn keep pushing for this to be a Constitution secondary class even when Constitution has nothing to do with Profession [blacksmith] or Craft?) and the striker. Both of these can make very good use of Combat Stamina.

>>51778998
I like that they have a unified spellcasting progression. All classes have a Base Magic score you can compare to one big Spellcasting Table. I also like how the Wizard gets mroe spells known and prepared as class features, while the Sorcerer gets MORE spell slots than anyone else as his.

I like the simplified feat system, particular the Two-Weapon-Fighting chain, which reduces the need for feat investment to be a capable two-weapon fighter, while allowing you to keep going down the chain to simply get BETTER.

I like how Monks don't suck. I like how Fighters are built as weaponmasters. I LOVE the Action Point system, and I really like their XP budget system for creating encounters.

As you should, punch is the universal language.

You're assuming I'm smart, or in any way a crafter.

Half-elf Fighter, bastard daughter of a lesser noble and his favourite whore. Grew up on streets, became a Swordsmanship instructor. Taught European martial arts to noble's kids for years before she became an adventurer. Now seeks to learn every possible facet of warfare, using adventuring as a proving grounds for new fighting techniques.

Dwarf wizard. Reincarnated as an elf because of asshole druids, now he can't grow a beard. He seeks an unlimited wish so that he can wish for every living being in the entire universe to be able to grow a beard.. Just in case the asshole druids strike again.

That's a 2hu.

Quick preview of what's to come next thread, though I could have probably uploaded this directly.

Occultist is mechanically like a weird blend of wizard and Magic of Incarnum classes, and I really like it for that.

Like a lot of Paizo stuff, though, it would have been better if it just had at-will abilities instead of an X/day pool.

I like the trend of making campaign traits good, I've played in groups that give you 2 traits and one has to be a mediocre campaign trait.

A lot of people talk about replacing rogue with one trait but I've never played a campaign that let you take campaign traits outside the campaign anyways.

Man, I'm not actually applying to WotR but I've become abnormally invested in these character applications. A month and a half of suspense waiting to see which ones make it through.

>mfw I'm having trouble picking out traits for this character
>mfw I'm normally great at picking out traits

So I'm trying to figure out how we can harvest a stairway literally made of gold.

Assuming it isn't horrifically cursed, what is the best way to cut through gold (assume hardness 5, hp 10/inch)?

We were primarily thinking repeated castings of fabricate, which would drop into our mirror of mental prowess.
However, if there's an item that would cut through that like butter, I would like to know.
